Super Reifen, ein bisschen laut (ähnlich wie der Conti Premium Contact), guter Grip bei Trockenheit und Nässe. Man fühlt, was das Auto macht. Scheint so, als würde der Reifen alles halten, was Hankook für den Ventus Prime 3 versprochen hat.

Premières impressions. Meilleures sensations que l'ancien Ventus PRIME2. Les tests montrent de très bonnes performances sur l'asphalte mouillé. Ce pneu est vraiment proche d'un premium et même bat des grandes marques dans certains tests. Vous pouvez trouver presque toutes les tailles et le prix est beaucoup plus faible que celui des meilleurs rivaux.

Super pneu, un peu bruyant (comme le contact premium conti), une bonne adhérence sur le sec et humide, vous sentez ce que la voiture est en train de faire. Il semble que le pneu est en train de tenir les promesses de Hankook pour le Ventus Prime 3.

Opel Astra H 1.4 (205/55 R16 V) on for 2,000 easy going miles
Two months ago I wrote review for this tires.
This morning I had hard brake on dry and I didn't like how the tires behave. The ABS went on from the moment I hit the brake till the car stopped. I had never experienced that with the previous tires - Continental Premium contact.

Very good tire VENTUS PRIME 3, size 205 / 55R16 91V. Purchased at a price 48 EURO. Tire parameters premium in the price of low-end - a great choice for people who value money in the wallet and high quality. I thought earlier that the volume of noise of tires is a parameter exaggerated as lower combustion for a few tires. But really tire is much quieter than my previous Bridgestone EP300..
Tire perfectly absorbs all vibrations arising from inequalities in the roads. The car is not driving but flowing along the way. Hankook absorb more better vibration than previous tire. Driving pleasure has improved in my MAZDA 3 Hatchback..

My car has enough torque to challenge tires (420+ Nm). Bought these because of the outstanding scores and excellent reviews in this site. Previously had Conti Premium Contact and Michelin HP, which are priced higher with similar or lower review scores.
As written in the Hankook product description, Ventus Prime 3 is a good touring tire... but nothing more! Do not expect sporty handling like Continental. Kook's sidewalls are way too soft, progressiveness is very bad. Hence if you need to take turns aggressively, the car feels like rolling on soft balloons - bad traction, bad predictability. When taking turns with higher speed, ones need to constantly play with the steering, otherwise the car will just bounce strongly from one side to another in random fashion and eventually get out of control. Traction in straight line though is good.
Can not comment on the wear part as I drive them just for month, but definitely miss the Conti sport performance.

Sometimes I feel the car slips on low quality but dry roads at town speeds (50km/h) - I have never felt it with the previous tires. These tires are louder than previous tires were. (Prev tires: Barum Polaris 3 195/55/R15)

I've bought this tires month and a half ago and passed 2000 km.
So far I can say that I'm satisfied. I'm driving calm, although sometimes I like to go as fast as I think is safe on a curvy roads. With the last tires-Continental premium contact I was sometimes finding the limit when I notice they don't like the speed. I haven't found the limit of the Hankooks so far and I think I don't drive so fast to find it.
I had one last moment brake when I didn't see it was red light. Driving around 50 km/h on a very rainy day (maybe that's way I wasn't in a mood) hit the brake all the way and I was pleasantly surprised that the car stop before the traffic light. The ABS hit as I was on the zebra paint, but I saw why Hankook tires often this year wins braking tests.

The wear I cannot comment now, and they are louder than the continentals before.

Previosly had Michelin pilot primacy hp, they were very good, lasted over 60000km, still plenty of mm remained, just rubber began to purrich. I wish Michelin would keep doing same stone reliable tires.
Concerning Hankook Ventus Prime 3, fist impration they are amazing. More comfortable and feels more light going. They do not feel as firm fitted as Michelin, but stearing is precise and became lighter. They are very sond tires whether in a city or on a high way. I would wish a little better here and there, but they 1/3 cheaper than Michelin and are not less good. Hope also they last not less than Michelin.
So far very recommendable tire in every aspect! You won't be disappointed.

Extra thanks to this source as helped me much during my tire surch!

Great tire, a little loud (same as conti premium contact), good grip on dry and wet, you feal what the car is doing. It seams that the tire is doing that, what Hankook promises for the Ventus Prime 3.
